Janice Molloy

Janice Molloy was appointed to the Antarctica New Zealand Board in 2006. Her work to date has mainly been associated with recovery of threatened species, both marine and terrestrial and has included running field programmes, development of policy and national coordination of recovery programmes. In recent years her primary focus has been on albatross and petrel recovery programmes. Because the key threat to this group of birds is accidental death in fishing operations, she works closely with fishermen and fishing industries in New Zealand and overseas. Janice convenes a Trust called Southern Seabird Solutions which is an alliance of fishermen, fishing companies, government and environmental groups who collectively work to spread seabird safe fishing practices through out the southern hemisphere.
